India vs Australia: Venue for 2nd Test to be relocated from Hyderabad after twin blasts?

New Delhi: Minutes after twin bomb blasts rocked the city of Hyderabad in the Dilsukh Nagar area on Thursday evening, the venue for the second Test to be played between India and Australia is likely to be relocated, as per reports.

If reports are to be believed, Cricket Australia (CA) said it`s too early to discuss whether the deadly bomb blasts means the second Test scheduled to start on March 2 will have to be shifted.

According to other reports, while CA haven’t refused to go to Hyderebad, there is a strong possibility about the relocation of the venue for the second Test.

The blasts happened at two points - Konark theater and Venkatadri movie theater that left at least seventeen people feared dead in the explosions.

India and Australia are scheduled to play the second Test at Hyderabad on March 2. The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is said to be less than 10km from the site of the fresh attacks which rocked the city on Thursday night.

And what should the hyderabadi people staying here do ? migrate to neighbouring cities ?
Can understand if Australia dont want to play here. Indian team should request them not to ask for change in venue. Indians will take care of its guests at the cost of our lives. All australians are safe anywhere in india.
Its us indians who have to worry for our life.
